In an audacious move that is shaking up the political landscape, Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz has thrown the gauntlet at the feet of Biden’s Justice Department special counsel, Jack Smith. Gaetz alleges that Smith is slyly trying to tip the scales of the 2024 presidential election by gunning for quick trials in the case against former President Donald Trump. In a bold letter to Justice Department bigwig Michael E. Horowitz, Gaetz lambasts Smith for his rushed push for the Supreme Court to swiftly review Trump’s immunity claims without a solid reason. Gaetz accuses Smith of dancing around the issue, insinuating that the real motive behind the rush job is to toss a spanner in the works for Trump’s potential run in the next election.

Gaetz doesn’t mince words in his scathing rebuke, highlighting that any legitimate reason for this breakneck pace should have been spelled out clearly. The elephant in the room, as Gaetz sees it, is that Smith is desperate to fast-track the trials before the 2024 election rolls around. This, Gaetz asserts, is a breach of the Justice Department’s rules and flies in the face of the law. Gaetz skillfully weaves a narrative of political vendetta being carried out under the guise of legal procedures, painting Smith as an overzealous prosecutor on a mission.
The Daily Wire snagged a peek at Gaetz’s impassioned missive to Horowitz, in which he warns of the ominous shadow cast over the DOJ should Smith’s partisan machinations be allowed free rein. With the Supreme Court grappling with Trump’s immunity claims and his legal eagles playing the delay game, the timeline for any trial could potentially stretch well into the summer months. Gaetz brandishes the DOJ’s rulebook like a sword, pointing out that manipulating legal processes for political gains is a big no-no, citing clear guidelines that should have kept Smith in check.
Gaetz doesn’t hold back, calling out what he deems as a biased pursuit of Trump by Smith and Attorney General Garland. He pulls back the curtain on what he sees as a witch hunt against the former president, labeling it a dirty game that the American people are wise to. According to Gaetz, Smith’s eagerness to light a fire under Trump’s trial smacks of ulterior motives and a blatant disregard for the rule of law. The congressman doesn’t shy away from throwing punches, accusing Smith of meddling unlawfully in the upcoming presidential election. In Gaetz’s eyes, this isn’t just about justice; it’s about playing dirty politics in the highest echelons of power.
